Christianity has been around for about 1900 years; yet, in all those years the Jewish nation has not been provoked to follow the practices and faith of Christianity. According to the apostle Sha'ul [Paul], if salvation has truly come to the Gentiles, then the Jewish people should have been provoked to emulate the faith of Christianity. Why hasn't this happened?
